making it work

it's been five years (and counting) since i've been married to this wonderful man. we were a couple for four years prior to getting  married. so that's a total of nine years of togetherness! :)  i honestly look forward to growing old with him. it is always in my prayer that we both have a good long life together.

i know we still have a long way to go. still more obstacles to encounter, and more fights to face. but along with that, there are joys and success to share, funny experiences with our daughters to witness, seeing dreams unfold, beers to toast, coffee to share and travelling to places, and so so so much more! i know there will be temptations too. somebody will be better than him or me. but i don't want to waste my energy on things that is not there yet. instead, i want to focus on the present by making our marriage work. there is no other way. we made a commitment to each other, to our family, and most importantly, to God.

so what do we do to make it work?  make it work! :) and aside from the usual things like acceptance, forgiveness, excitement, support, and love, i still think that making God the center of the marriage is the number 1 rule. i know it is passe but it is true. if not, then what is?
